JERUSALEM, Israel — U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to launch a Tomahawk missile attack against a Syrian airbase last week received praise from Israeli politicians from across the political spectrum.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said on Friday that Moscow would “strengthen and raise the effectiveness of the Syrian armed forces’ systems of anti-aircraft defense systems” following the American missile strike on Syria’s Sharyat airbase.

TEL AVIV — Following the U.S. launch of Tomahawk missiles targeting a strategic Syrian airfield on Thursday night, Iran must be monitored carefully for the possibility that it may use its proxies for retaliation, especially against Israel’s northern border.
